Should we have anything on being clear in representations that reflect the team vs the individual?

Can you say more about what your thoughts are here? I think I have a vague idea of what you're getting at here, but I'm not sure how to put it into words. I assume this is trying to make the distinction of making some public statement, and wanting to distinguish between "I'm speaking for the whole team" and "I'm just giving my personal viewpoint"?

Thats it. I'm not sure what to even put down for a policy, if anything. Its just something I try to keep in mind

We would always be recognized as “Cargo team member” or whatever your strongest public image when interacting with the community. That's a thing one can never shave off even after stepping down.
For example, when one team member talks about
cargo-eval
pre-RFC, even when they state it's their own personal opinion. They still have a vote to affect the decision. People then tend to see it as a portion of the team's opinion if they find the connection.That's an inevitable consequence of being a formal member.

In terms of making a statement for the whole team, we usually start like “after the team's recent discussion, we….” I think that kind of speaking gives enough information to the audience to decide where it comes from.
Just be clear. I am fine with not having a policy here for now.

It's absolutely the case that we'll be perceived as Cargo team members, but with some care we can make sure to state when we're speaking for the team, and when we're specifically not speaking for the team.

Following today's episode of the rust drama... being unclear about whether someone was speaking on behalf of the team or just expressing their own opinion may have been a key contributor to this round of drama.
